@tsholofelo_sibanyoni: We need to rethink what it means to build together in 2025 😮💨. Is commitment just romance or can it be a strategy? Would you enter a shared living and savings arrangement if it meant getting to your goals faster? Drop your thoughts—especially if you’re in a situation like this. #EconomicPartnership #BlackWealth #LegacyBuilding #SouthAfricaTikTok
I want everyone reading this to know that relationship problems are mostly predominant in the middle class. The wealthy and the poor have less of it. You know why? They marry their class. The wealthy marry the wealthy and the poor in rural communities marry each other as well. It is people in the middle class that have refused to accept each other. Women in the middle class want to marry up so bad that they become unhappy with life when it does turn out that way. I say “women” because men are more realistic about where they belong in society. Women waste their best years trying to marry up. These men at the top will play games with them but when it is time to get married, the story changes. And even if you as a woman marry up, it comes with so many issues. Your husband might be a sweetheart but his family members will always treat you like you should be grateful to be there and they will never value your opinion

Marriage has always been about strategy, till our generation made it about feelings, then it started raining divorces

Weren't arranged marriages among the rich based on this notion?

Don't forget drawing up a contracts, having monthly/annual board meetings etc. Months ago I've seen one family doing something similar here on tiktok

Genuinely asking, was this not the basis and foundation of every arranged marriage in the past, as well as legacy marriages of wealthy families? Love was never a the driving factor but rather the bonus. I stand to be corrected, respectfully 🙏

It's not gona work if u don't have feelings for someone because when there is money involved there needs to b a connection so if one partner is dating someone else whilst in this commitment deal the other partner will get jelouse and the savings/vision/purpose will end in tears... I'm against it because it's a promiscuous deal... There is no authenticity there.

Reason why this doesn't work or people don't even consider it is because couples are scared to have conversations about money

That has been the purpose of marriage, driven by both families.
Power structures are always housed in families.

You are describing marriage, this is why it was created. What you're describing is what families intended, not lento sikuyo ngoku 😅

I have a colleague who chose that, i am starting to look into it too. They got married, have kids but they are no romantically involved. They share bills and they are concurring this life so well.

Men are not trying to strategize with women. They don’t respect us enough to not scam us lol. I thought about this approach but the extra emotional and physical labor you’ll carry as a woman in the process leaves you with the shorter end of the stick. Better off building with other women (who actually see you as a human being) and drawing up proper contacts.

Will definitely work if everything is clear upfront, saves a lot financially, emotionally & mentally. While being strategically & resourceful, the relationship gets better too. It's a win all round.

Be content with what you have. Greed is what gets us into trouble. I wouldn’t marry anyone for financial reasons. I think it’s a very bad idea, even with a friend. Yes marriage has its pros and it can definitely give you access to things you may not have access to alone. But the stress that comes with a loveless marriage is not worth a trip to Monaco or that Hermes bag. Don’t get me wrong. I love soft life but I wouldn’t marry anyone just for soft life. I’m having a soft life at my level and I believe that with hard work and strategy I can own those properties and afford those international vacations ALL BY MYSELF. 🥰🥰

The marriage contract was designed for this. Not for love or whatever else people talk about today.

This only happens to the rich & poor…middle class would never do such thing💀 if you hear how delusional people in middle class are you will understand. A man will be earning 28k a woman 22k but somehow that 28k of a man has to buy a house, his cars, children’s school fees, grocery, electricity, wifi, levies, tax, rates, date nights, vacations, etc 💀 the sooner middle class realise that Cyril’s economy need dual income, the better cos if not. More divorce every year.

But if you look closely at the institution it founded on company/business model. legally it becomes a ‘business’ by default, the signing of prenup, assets combined, surname changes & when getting a divorce the splitting of assets. You can’t convince me that it’s not a business. Also with lobola, the negotiations all of it has fundamentals of starting a business. Your children become sharedholders by default in most cases.
